Mertie West poses in front of the Grand Canyon entrance, Grand Canyon, 1942

Description:
Photograph of Mertie West posing in front of both the West's car and the entryway to Grand Canyon National Park. She stands in the distance right-of-center and looks to the camera. She stands directly in front of the rear of the West's parked car. Beyond her and the car, the entryway to the Grand Canyon stands in the distance. It straddles the road. Two large, stacked-stone pillars stand on either side of the road and taper towards their tops. A large, log beam stretches between the pillars over the road. A sign hangs down from the beam that reads, "-ENTERING- ·GRAND·CANYON·NATIONAL·PARK·." A sign post in front of the pillar at right reads, "ENTRANCE PERMIT CARS $1.00 TRAILERS $1.00 MOTORCYCLES $1.00." A metal gate stands to the right of that. It too has a sign, which reads, "PLEASE CLOSE GATE."
